Thread: Post ur most effective Methods!

I completely agree Mez. In the beginning I felt exactly how you described while learning to WILD. Failure was incredibly frustrating and it began to feel like I was wasting precious hours of sleep when I failed. Even though my successes were so fantastic, it just wasn't enough to offset the annoyance I felt everytime I couldn't do it. So I started trying less and less.

However, while trying all of the different WILD techniques, I learned to recognize many of the stages that you go through on the way to sleep, such as the HI, vibrations, heaviness, sounds etc. Things you never really notice unless you are looking for them and/or know what to expect.

Because of this knowledge, I started noticing while falling asleep without really *trying* to WILD, that I was still aware of many of these symptoms and could use them to my advantage to LD easier.

Someone else on this website (I'm sorry but I forgot who) said that instead of learning how to keep our mind awake, we need to learn how to fall asleep. I think that is very good advice!

yes, your practical experience works much to your advantage. I think its crucial to take this relaxed approach while initially learning to WILD.

I think thats brilliant advice and that too is my perspective on WILDing! You gotta be asleep to have a dream.

WAke up at 4-6 am and move to another room to wild, or if i accidently fall asleep i still have a pretty good chance of having a dild.

Before going to bed, I use auto-suggestion. I recite my dreams signs, and say that I will know I'm dreaming if I see them. I naturally wake up after 5-6 hours of sleep. So, I reaffirm myself, and dream signs before going back to sleep. Possibly listen to a lucid mp3, turn it off, then fall back asleep. Usually, I will catch myself in a Dild soon after falling asleep. I also take DMAE. Going to try galantamine soon.
